Wolf Logo

I've been looking at Fraser's work for a long time and was very excited to have this opportunity to learn from him. I wanted to pick an animal that was commonly used as a sports mascot and the first good reference I found was of a wolf.

From this reference I used the right side of the face to build some simple linework.

Then comes the block shapes.

I was pleased but I wanted to correct the thickness of the fur on the outer edge of the logo. As well as correct the strange way the bottom of the logo came together. I also changed the eye shape slightly. I knew that when I started adding the coloring and shading I wanted to give the effect of fur through the use of highlights.

Then it was time to plug it into photoshop...I still want to work on this part a little more in-depth.
